第十九天：写作模拟练习一

今天我们开始最后冲刺。我每天总结一些写作核心词汇，请认真复习。图画作文的一个重要特点是阐述图画的寓意，一般都是做道德提升。所以，写这类文章首先要熟悉的是表示个性与品质，尤其是表示正面个性与品质的词汇。现总结如下：

美德 virtue

自信 self-confident

有抱负 ambitious; have aspirations; aim high

有上进心 self-motivated; enterprising

有判断力 have good judgment

有分辨力 discerning

有希望 promising

有智慧 intelligent

有毅力 persevering

道德高尚 of high morality

全面的 all-around (development)

爱国的 demonstrate deep love for one’s own country; patriotic

克服困难 overcome difficulties

挑战自我 challenge oneself; push oneself to limits

接受挑战 take challenges; rise to challenges

实现自身价值 achieve self-worth

素质教育 ethics education; character education

助人为乐 helpful

有爱心 caring

有同情心sympathetic

正义感 sense of justice

适应社会 adjust oneslef to a changing society

建设和谐社会 build a harmonious society

八荣八耻 ‘eight honors’ and ‘eight disgraces’

以...为荣（deem it an honor to...）

丑恶现象unseemly scene

不和谐 disharmonious

对于类似上面的词汇，可以借助汉英词典提前准备。这种准备效果极好。

今天的结束语是：Success can be prepared（成功源于准备）。
